Testimonies of Healing

In appreciation of the understanding of God and of man's relation to Him that Christian Science confers, the following testimony is written with the hope that it may save others from submitting to operations. We have been students of Christian Science for twelve years, and have depended on this method of treatment in every case, knowing that "the word of God is quick, and powerful.

Having been a member of The Mother Church for many years and having in my younger days had the privilege of hearing Sabbath after Sabbath wonderful words of wisdom from the lips of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I esteem it a cause for unbounded gratitude.

Many revelations of God's ever-presence and all-power have come to me through the study of Christian Science. Loneliness has been dispelled by the true idea of Mind, through the knowledge that life and joy come from God and are not dependent upon material objects.

Even the little understanding of man's relationship to God which is mine through the study of Christian Science makes me very grateful. I frequently attended the Sunday and Wednesday evening services with friends or relatives who were Scientists, but never felt a desire to study this teaching, although I always had a friendly feeling toward it and owned a copy of the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

When Christian Science was presented to me I had been suffering for fifteen years from what the doctors called chronic lumbago. At one time I was confined to the bed for several weeks and could not be turned over or change my position; at other times I would be just able to get around the house with help.

I am very grateful for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me each day. Since beginning to study it several years ago, I have been relieved of a chronic ailment from which I had suffered for ten or twelve years.

I AM anxious to acknowledge my healing through Christian Science of what at the time was called lung trouble of a quickly developing nature; and the illness certainly was as quickly developed as it was complicated and terrible. The healing, which took place over fifteen years ago, when I was fourteen years of age, was accomplished in six weeks, with the one exception of rugged strength; but later this too came naturally and beautifully.

I had asthma ever since I can remember. Every remedy I heard of was tried, but with only temporary relief, and I often suffered so much that a physician would have to be called.

It is with a grateful heart that I wish to testify to the blessings God has bestowed upon me through Christian Science. In August, 1912, I became ill with bronchial catarrh and asthma, attended by spasms of the heart, and for two months and a, half was under medical treatment.

I send this testimony with a heart overflowing with thankfulness to God for the many blessings received, and in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, through whose book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," we gain a demonstrable understanding of Life, Truth, and Love.
